A word from our 2012 Poster Competition winner – Lyndsay Davies,QCNW; “I submitted an abstract on a stability study that our group hadcarried out for the shelf-life extension on a monoclonal antibodypreparation, and we were really pleased that it was selected for aposter presentation at the QA Symposium in Ashford. The QASymposium was really informative and a good networking eventwhich allowed us to make new contacts. Winning the poster prize was a real bonus as it means that I can present the poster at the EAHP conference in Paris, courtesy of MacoPharma,which is a fantastic opportunity that I am really looking forward to.”
